Ear Sciences Centre – focusing on translating the findings of research into clinical practice, tissue engineering, embracing technology to improve clinical service delivery in audiology, and epidemiology.

Liver and Kidney Transplant – seeking to understand the role of innate versus adaptive immunity in organ transplantation, particularly in chronic allograft rejection.

Orthopaedic Surgery – evaluating various surgical techniques and prostheses in terms of outcomes and improved quality of life for patients.

Featured project

The "CIC Cancer" project will implement an innovative program of research that places cancer patients first. A co-design strategy involving consumers, clinicians, health services and researchers that will measure outcomes important to patients using the International Consortium for Health Outcome Measures (ICHOM) standard sets, identify key deficits in care pathways, generate and trial new interventions and implement findings rapidly. This project will directly improve the lives of those diagnosed with cancer.
